The pictures above show the style, ive got actual pictures, just trying to find them. They are fitted with 225/45/17 at the front with 7.5x17" wheels. The rear are 245/40/17 with 8.5x17" wheels. I want £500 for them with chrome star centre caps.

Hi,
Do you still have them if so would they fit my SL ?

regards,

Peter

- Jumping in on someones thread!

I don't think they would fit an R129?

The offset would be probably wrong, and the tyres are definately too small for your car.

HTH,

Will (plus a free bump )

Shame I have 245 17s on at the moment with contis on them, and they need refurbing I was thinking of moving my contis on to these and then sending my current ones away for a proper refurb job

I take it your current 245s are a different profile.

Do you know what the width and offset of your current wheels is. If you have the tyres already, then it obviously saves you some hassle - but as I said before, I am fairly certain that the offset on a R129 SL is different to that of W203 C-class or the SLK pictured. SLK/CLK/W202/W203 etc etc are pretty similar fit-wise IIRC, but I was under the impression the SL was significantly different?

Good luck, and it would be nice if the fitted, but i'll still bet that they aren't a proper fit.

HTH,

Will

Also, have you considered a mobile wheel refurbishment place? I understand if you would prefer to have them sent away and bead blasted etc etc, but possibly worth considering if all else fails?

Or you could try and arrange to get them refurbished whilst you are away for a few days etc??

The problem I have is that the former owner of the car used them as an early form of parking sensor but I am now starting to notice rust braking through the wheels in the center, away from the scratched rims. They have a detailed machine finish and I would like to get them refurbed to the same finish, this would meen removing the tyres, striping them, then diamond cuting the new finish then recoating them. So I don't think a mobile guy could do it, but I might be wrong...

I can't seem to find the offset data in the manuals ho hum...

Agreed - the best place for your wheels would be a proper refurbishment outlet. My 18" AMGs were refurbished (before I bought them!) to 'As New' condition by a company called Lepsons, who are in Kent.

They do a really good job! As a guide, I recently compared them to a brand new 17" AMG wheel of the same design, and they are indistinguishable in paint colour/finish/polished lip etc. Really good work!

Perhaps look out for a cheap-ish set of wheels for an SL on ebay? Doesn't really matter what they look like, as long as they are round and come with legal tyres, you could use them for a few days and then flog them afterwards?

Oh, you will find the offset figure stamped on the inside of your existing wheel.

Good Luck,

Will

I agree. They did a great job for me too. You can also get a same day service with them. If you pick Monday, you drop off Monday morning and collect Monday evening. This is £50 more I think, but a lot more convenient.

Sounds like an excellent service - but it'd be a long ol' haul for Peter!

He is in Somerset I think!
